Hello Tom:
Yes indeed, this is a subjective measurement. No matter how you
build your seat, you will inevitably fish with guys who will say
"my boat is more comfortable."
Put a box or a milk crate in the boat, in the shop. Work the
oars over the cement. Find out what works for you.
Too high and your hands will bump your knees while
you row. Too low and you'll have to reach too high.
What works for a 6 footer is not what works for
someone 5'6" tall.
